RISDiscussion of “Construction Robot Path-Planning for Earthwork Operations” by Sung-Keun Kim, Jeffrey S. Russell, and Kyo-Jin Koo
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Improvement of Aerodynamic Performance and Energy Supply of Bridges Using Small Wind Turbines
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study proposes a methodology of using small wind turbines for dual purposes, improving the aerodynamic performance of flexible bridges and wind-energy harvesting. A method for the proper placement of small wind turbines ...
Contractor-Led Critical Design Management Factors in High-Rise Building Projects Involving Multinational Design Teams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: High-rise building projects (HRPs) are comprised of various complex design elements. The involvement of a multinational design team increases design-related issues for contractors, which must be managed during the construction ...
Mitigating the Effects of Wind on Suspension Bridge Catwalks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the current study, wind tunnel tests and buffeting analyses were conducted for a catwalk structure of a suspension bridge under turbulent winds. From the wind tunnel tests, it was found that the Reynolds number effects ...
Dynamic Effect of a Flexible Riser in a Fully Connected Semisubmersible Drilling Rig Using the Absolute Nodal Coordinate Formulation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The motion of a semisubmersible drilling rig must be checked in advance to satisfy the safety criteria of the rig. However, the complexity of the rig's connections makes it difficult to analyze the rig motion during the ...
Development of a Car-Free Street Mapping Model Using an Integrated System with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Aerial Mapping Cameras, and a Deep Learning Algorithm
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Road condition and quality are critical road maintenance and risk reduction factors. Most existing road monitoring systems include regular on-site surveys and maintenance. However, major roads in urban areas are generally ...
Wind Loads Acting on Transmission Tower under Combined Yawed and Tilted Wind
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractTransmission towers situated on mountains are exposed not only to horizontal winds
but also to vertical winds blowing along the slope. Moreover, sudden downward or upward
winds can impact transmission towers during ...
Design and Preparation of SOFC Unit Cells Using Scandia-Stabilized Zirconia Electrolyte for Intermediate Temperature Operation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A solid oxide fuel cell unit cell based on a scandia-stabilized zirconia (ScSZ) electrolyte for intermediate temperature operation (below 650°C) was manufactured as an anode-supported unit ...
Calculating Time-Specific Flux of Runoff Using DEM Considering Storm Sewer Collection Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new technique is proposed for calculating time-specific accumulative flux of surface runoff from a digital elevation model (DEM). The method incorporates ancillary datasets required to determine the depth of effective ...
Characterizing Effects of Changes in Soil Phase on Elastic Wave Velocities for Sand with Different Moisture Contents
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Geohazards such as slope failures and retaining wall collapses have been observed during thawing season, typically in early spring. These geohazards are often attributed to changes in the engineering properties of soil ...
